I would like to control when and where the admin service is accessible How do I do one of the following (if possible) Enable the admin console only from localhost (I know about disable-secure-admin, but still I don't want anyone to see the console login page when they add 4848 in the end) I will use SSH tunnle to connect Or, be able to use a certificate, so only certified clients will be able to even see the console Or, be able on demand to start / stop the admin service when needed, not opening it to the outside world (e.g. start stop __asadmin virtual server) Is any of the above possible?

How to disable and enable admin console (admin-listener, port 4848) from the command line

I would like to control when and where the admin service is accessible

How do I do one of the following (if possible)

Enable the admin console only from localhost (I know about disable-secure-admin, but still I don't want anyone to see the console login page when they add 4848 in the end) I will use SSH tunnle to connect
Or, be able to use a certificate, so only certified clients will be able to even see the console
Or, be able on demand to start / stop the admin service when needed, not opening it to the outside world (e.g. start stop __asadmin virtual server)

Is any of the above possible?
